The Thunder Rolls

This week I picked "The Thunder Rolls" by Garth Brooks because the thunder of the winter sport season has begun to rumble as yet another sport began last week and two more teams are set to lace up this week.

Last week I covered a doubleheader of DCB basketball games before heading home for a swell Thanksgiving break. I returned Saturday to cover the 19U and BHS hockey games. Interesting sidebar here, I was hit by a deflected puck on Saturday at the BHS game. It snapped the frame on my glasses and gave me a bit of a bruise above my eye, but it really didn't hurt and I kept on clicking.

I want a pretty spectacular 13-3 on my NFL picks last week. I am now 122-63 (65.9 percent) on the year.Week 14 picks are:
Eagles over Seahawks
Jets over Redskins
Bears over Chiefs
Bills over Titans
Raiders over Dolphins
Steelers over Bengals
Falcons over Texans
Broncos over Vikings
Buccaneers over Panthers
Patriots over Colts
Ravens over Browns
Packers over Giants
Cowboys over Cardinals
49ers over Rams
Saints over Lions
Jaguars over Chargers
